This problem also impinges on instruction accessing, since for efficient operation instructions must also be supplied to the processor at a rate matching its execution rate. In the case of instruction accessing, however, the problem is ameliorated by the fact that most instru

Parallel Functional Units,as a means of enhancing the performance of a processor at the top end of a range of general purpose computers. In the case of the CDC 6600, performance was the principal criterion of the design, and as we saw in chapter 2, the use of parallel functional units with an instruction set capable of explo

Vector Facilities in MU5,support in hardware for the management of data structures. Thus a data structure as seen by the programmer is broken up into small sections and mapped into the vector registers by software. In machines which process the programmer’s data structures more directly, a number of quite different problems

Knowledge about such aspects of their design, together with knowledge about the clock periods of these machines, provides a limited picture of their performance potential. For example, before spending several mi

We shall then go on to consider some of the design modifications introduced in the CDC 7600, the successor to the 6600. Limitations inherent in the architectures of both the 6600 and 7600 led to the design of the CRAY-1, which we shall consider in chapter 7.
